The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) is conducting extensive searches at the residence of Bhujangarao, a suspended police officer who is an accused in the ongoing phone tapping case. The officer, who previously served as Additional Superintendent of Police (SP), was already suspended by the government following allegations of his involvement in the controversial phone tapping incident. The ACB operation marks a significant development in the investigation as authorities probe into allegations of illegal accumulation of wealth.
ACB officials are carrying out simultaneous searches at multiple locations today, targeting not only Bhujangarao’s primary residence but also the homes of his relatives and family members. According to sources, the anti-corruption agency is conducting searches at a total of fifteen locations connected to the suspended officer. The searches are part of a broader investigation into allegations that have long surrounded the officer regarding the illegal amassing of huge assets disproportionate to his known sources of income.
The phone tapping case has drawn significant attention in recent months, with several police officials coming under scrutiny for their alleged involvement in unauthorized surveillance activities. Bhujangarao’s suspension came as part of the government’s action against those implicated in the case. The allegations against him suggest involvement in illegal activities during his tenure as Additional SP, raising serious questions about the misuse of official position and authority.
